Native Education Opportunities Summit

We seek to engage and prepare prospective students and families from Native and Indigenous communities for applying to college by providing an annual summit or community based college readiness workshops. At these events prospective students learn about applying to college, financial aid and scholarships, essay writting and have opportunities to connect with current students and alumni to learn about campus experience, resources and careers. Below is a sample agenda and flyer from a past summit.
